The UK-based government superteam MI13 will also feature in Andy Lanning and Alan Cowsill's miniseries, it was announced at San Diego Comic-Con International.

"We want to have as many cameos and appearances as we can cram in so expect many 'Easter Eggs' cropping up as we return to several of the old haunts from the Marvel UK universe: The Museum of Antiquities, MI13, Darkmoor and a few more," Lanning told Marvel.com.

"In re-reading the Marvel UK titles and researching old continuity we've realised there's actually a very large and diverse cast of UK based characters available to us.

"We'll be revisiting most of the popular old Marvel UK characters and a few of the more obscure ones."

He said that it would be "sacrilege" if Captain Britain and Pete Wisdom did not feature in Revolutionary War.
